Thomas Einwaller commented on ANN-604:
--------------------------------------

@Nate: as David pointed out this feature would be especially useful when adding columns do an existing table that already contains entries - in this case all the existing entries get a null value in the database and therefor can not be restored anymore

> In hibernate annotation you can't specify default value for a column.
